Print to PDF

[Paul Hibbert]

Richmond,

I tried using macOS High Siera version 10.13.2 (17C88) and your script writes a PDF in LC7.1.4 & LC8.2.0 (dp2), but in LC9.0.0 (dp11) it prints the card to my default printer, so it seems the ’to PDF’ part is being ignored.

Maybe time for a Bug Report. :)

Paul
